Sex attacks up 70% in just one German city – “You can’t really do anything alone anymore”

Freiburg is a city that has been rocked by migrant related incidents. On 14 October this year, a teen girl was raped by seven Syrians and two years ago teenager Maria Ladenburger was raped and murdered by an Afghan migrant.

The incidents have made German women in Freiburg and elsewhere more fearful and they have a point. According to a report of broadcaster RTL Germany, the number of sex attacks in the city have increased by 70 per cent.

A police officer says sexual offences have dramatically increased in Freiburg and adds that Germans are perpetrators as well.

“The last two years it has changed for the worse,” two interviewed girls say. “You can’t walk alone in the city,” she adds.

“You can’t really do anything alone anymore, you can’t be at work without being afraid. Of course it is now worse than before,” another girl says.
